Wonderfully Made
Psalm 139:14
The next time you pick up your little baby or grandbaby, look into the face of that marvellously made child and say, "You are fearfully and wonderfully made."
And it wouldn't hurt to repeat that statement throughout her childhood.
Children need to know how valuable they are in God's sight—and ours. Nothing gives them greater security than a strong sense of self-esteem.
